The pub, which appears to have been filled with a lot of football and Leeds United shirts, has been described as the “best venue in Donny”.

The backyard boozer is made up of a large garden shed and decking area, but the bar appears to be generously stocked with a wide selection of drinks.

Inside there is an array of lagers, spirits and bar snacks as well as traditional beer mats and pumps – but it is not clear if they are functional.
